Convert a call to init_timer and accompanying intializations of the timer's data and function fields to a call to setup_timer. The Coccinelle semantic patch that fixes one part of this issue is as follows: @@ expression t,d,f,e1; identifier x1; statement S1; @@ ( -t.data = d; | -t.function = f; | -init_timer(&t); +setup_timer(&t,f,d); | -init_timer_on_stack(&t); +setup_timer_on_stack(&t,f,d); ) <... when != S1 t.x1 = e1; ...> Also convert calls to add_timer and intialisation of timer's expire field to a call to mod_timer which is more compact.
